bojo is king, brexit is on, stuff is fvcked, tomorrow starts here -- new govt new thread new battle

Either you're a cop or you're not

The wrong Highbury, the wrong cop! The Starmer dossier is growing by the minute comrades!

I think even some of the most ardent capn save a barrister types are running out of excuses for this prat.

What’s wrong with Highbury? True, some of it is the richer part of Islington north, but some of it isn’t, plus they elected Cromblyn for longer than I’ve been alive.

The Times are printing some ludicrous story about me being in a picture alongside dangerous revolutionary Sacha Ismail.

Here's me with another dangerous revolutionary 👍🏽 pic.twitter.com/DJ4fIFKHCU

Lol stop drawing me to the E candidate

Thornberry and MDMA have about the same chance of appearing on the ballot tbh

MDMA? morelike FBPE innit.

Little scouse bearded gobshite has backed Kier.

Who? Spicebag? He can have him.

Ricky Tomlinson aka the "hilarious" Mike Bassett, Royle Family, Ken loach stalwart etc

alls he has to do is say "arse" a lot and his fans are prostate on the ground, leaking urine from laughter.

lol prostrate even but still otm

If my prostate were on the ground I might well have urine problems

he's a confirmed funnyman and a staunch socialist, but what do you expect him to do when your prostate is on on the ground .. he's not a bloody doctor... arse... etc!

i'm feeling bad joking about this because I someone in my family who is dying from inoperable prostate cancer.. probably typo brought on by my subconscious..

Loki reckons Starmer might be a bit coy if some very vigilant political hack were to ask him if he'd have Jess P in his cabinet and there might be a potential alliance there against RLB.

I'm a completely lapsed catholic who despises religion, but it's so good seeing Catholic twitter ripping P Mason to pieces. When people use Catholicism as a sort of proxy anti-irish slur in aid of political factionalism, how does that make them any better than uber-dogwhistle twat lord zac?

I have had no truck with Paul Mason since he described someone in a groupchat as a “spastic” two years ago and refused to apologise, but hopefully now everyone realises he is a horrific clown.

He has a book coming out in two weeks, which is why he's making a particular show of himself at the moment.

If it isn't bad enough that disabled charities have all been toothless and weak during a decade of austerity and all signed gagging orders to maintain their well behaved tory govt lap-dog status. But now Scope are advertising for disabled writers to write content for their site for free. If it isn't bad enough having tories trying to put out ideas that disabled people would be happy to work for reduced wages "which is all they are worth". These cunts are taking it to the next level, and for specialist content as well. And it isn't charities who are suffering from austerity - they are doing fine and still paying the going rates to their staff and fat-cat execs.

disabled campaigner Natalya Dell: “It is not OK for charities to commission writing and not pay for it at market rates.

“Scope is not poor, Scope can afford to pay people for their time, knowledge and expertise.

“We need to keep calling this nonsense out. Scope is big enough and has enough money to pay people for their time and efforts.”

OMFG. Any writing that appears in a professional space must be paid for at market rates - it’s shit like this that makes writing as a profession less viable to those without other advantages (such as trust funds or less official forms of family support). FYI the government makes it difficult for people with disabilities who are on benefits to do paid work - I don’t know if ‘allowable work’ is still a thing - so perhaps Scope are worried that those not on PIP will lose benefits or get flagged up for working while claiming?

I'm way too cynical to think Scope are worried about ESA issues, but that would be an issue for sure. But overall it is terrible and immoral practise and to about just short of 2 million disabled people on PIP it's an absolute piss-take and a grave insult.

..and to compound the insult they are wanting very personal content about disabled sex lives:

Another criticism of the charity, which is not run and controlled by disabled people, came from @Bubblejet, who said the payment issue was “pure #cripsploitation”.

She added on Twitter: “Not only is there the payment issue, but I’ve had 35 years of being asked to tell strangers about my sex life ‘as an example’. I’m sick of it! It’s intrusive & othering!”

regarding the ESA issue ... this is something these charities should be publicly attacking the govt every day on. But they've all signed gagging orders.

damn, Yougov Labour members poll is not encouraging stuff:( A lot of work to be done to stop the tory thunderbirds puppet yet.

Don't forget Yougov are cunts tho

Rebecca Long-Bailey - 9/10
Keir Starmer - 5/10
Lisa Nandy - 4/10
Jess Phillips - 4/10

oh no ignore that is what they give Corbyn's tenure as leader outta 10

lol this is so wrong abt thornberry, her whole vibe is v glass of red wine but stoned as fuck "well here we are then"

just joined the labour party to vote RLB, I joined as a supporter in 2016 but didn't get a ballot despite also being a member of a Labour affiliated union at the time. i'm not on any social media things so I don't know how they filtered me out as a trot entryist. Probably the time I replied to a mailer email asking them to stop sending me anything else from Alastair Campbell if they still wanted my vote.Absolute fucking rank corruption of the lavery NEC what a pile of wankers.

Jess phillips twitter was recently full of encouraging entreaties to meltryists saying they couldn't be denied a vote because of how bad it would look. the worst thing about these managerial type politicians is that they are all clearly *bad* managers. whenever she gets anyone from her crusading charity sector days to speak up for her its obvious that they all hate her. My dislike of her is so vast and unrelenting that I get lost in thought hating her. its really unhealthy. It particularly annoys me because actually smart and assertive women are my favourite people and, this is the only thing I agree with her on, often terribly maligned. I find it really annoying for such an obvious dimwit and smarm to masquerade as one when she is so obviously undeserving. I'd literally prefer almost any bossy deputy head from a struggling primary school with a poorly thought out school improvement plan.

also I havent posted recently cos I got a new job but I stand by my assertion that original house of cards is absolute dreck (never seen the other one)

FP'ed you again, with a heavy heart of course!

v prepared to die on this hill

I don't reckon Thornberry would have had an E in her entire life! She has a very 50's conservative m/c vibe about her. Probably has a living room that is more dowdy than Lindsay Hoyle's.

i suspect she has an expensive but ruined couch and is very untidy

It particularly annoys me because actually smart and assertive women are my favourite people

also I havent posted recently cos I got a new job but I stand by my assertion that original house of cards is absolute dreck (never seen the other one)

one thing I've learned is: better to buy a sturdy old ruined couch 2nd hand from a charity shop than a brand new flimsy piece of shit from Argos for 3 times the price.

I think Thornberry might have messy energy - but I wouldn't equate this with messy house - I bet hers is spotless and she is a manic dust-phobic.

same energy:

Thornberry’s insta tells me nothing about her house except she has a nice mosaic inlay table that she puts things like wheels of Stilton and oysters on. I still think I’m right though.

Anyone watch the Liverpool hustings?

I've heard Nandy was very towns.

some reports saying Jess Phillips died a death and literally has nothing to say.

obv RLB was the best and Starmer was booed off the stage over his prevaricating answer over the use of poorhouse babies as foodstuff for cattle.

I have been in Emily Thornberry's car and it was a complete mess in the way that all cars are when they regularly transport small children around. (This was nearly 20 years ago admittedly).

Very small protest opposite Downing Street. EU berets, Russian flags, poster of Boris wearing a Russian hat - no cliche unsummoned. It just seems like a nice day out for them.

Also this is all wrong, the correct answer is:

RLB: Occasional Guinness
Thornberry: Red wine
JP: Cocaine at the Spectator Christmas Party
Nandy: Crap pills bought outside that one rave she went to in 1998, since that vodka and tonic, white wine, sometimes beer but never that craft beer rubbish. Coffee under no circumstances ever.
Starmer: Perrier
